Boy, you have really drank the union/Democrat kool aid, just like so many here.
We are out because the unions & government regs have destroyed our competitive ability, not because of any of those fantasies that you so glibly throw out.
Wake up and work for structural change in the political climate that creates these corrupt unions and business destroying regulations that serve no purpose whatsoever other than to incite class warfare for political gain.
Until then, nothing will change.
I assure you, I am far to the right of anyone in the last five generations of your family; don’t lie about how we came to our current situation. Me & mine breed as though “The Road Warrior” is three months away; we don’t drink Kool-Aid (unless it comes from the MRE pack). I have voted in every election since I was old enough (for George Bush in 1992), and in the end what did we get? Thankfully I never took a student loan, because any graduate that asks for more than a bowl of noodles at the end of the day is apparently being snotty to you (and has had his job sent to India/China already).
Hope that me & mine see any point to you & yours at the end of the day; otherwise, find your own gasoline (but watch out for the Toe-Cutter).
